Most impressive, Simon. However since you have now asended to master level FPV flying, you need to have a mere mortal fly the demos so the rest of us will not have inflated expectations!

Thanks Mike, glad to see you here! It's been a while.
I love FPV flying, shame its totally illegal here in Australia. Although i am still working on that.
What i love most about FPV, is thats its always a challenge, i learn something every time i wear my glasses.

It's about time you blew the dust of the Lumix and showed the young fellows on here what its all about...

Shot this yesterday down at the beach, nothing fancy. I was testing the new Radian Stabilization hardware from FreeFly systems.
You can read the description in the video.

Man this thread is quiet.
Anyway..I figured out the Sunnysky motors I mentioned aren't suitable for spinning 12x3.8 props.
I'm going with these. They seem very high rated and much more capable of bigger props. They appear to be just rebranded RC Timer motors.

I had forgotten about Ecalc. Man that tool is amazing for analyzing motors, etc.

I most often post in the Mikrokopter forum run by Ziggy. Not as much to wade through, and more specific topics.
I do like you guys, and follow this thread!

Flying my CS6 with a fresh battery. After about 3 min of flight I got a fast constant beeping and landed immediately. My DX8 telemetry read 15.1V, later confirmed with my charger.
When I examined the voltage in the GPX file it showed the battery started at 15.0 and went down to 12.5v. There were no errors in the file either. No wonder the voltage warning was beeping! Usually I land at 14.5v.
This was very odd, and disconcerting! Anyone else seen this? The good news is 2 more batteries and nothing strange.

I've seen this happening with nano-tech batteries from HK. After few months they don't hold voltage well under even moderate load. From your post it is not clear which battery brand you use, but everyone should avoid these nano-techs.

It was the stock CS6 battery actually, Quadropower lipo. The odd thing is only the MK saw the battery as low, and it wasn't really low. The DX8 telemetry was reading over 16v initially, and 15v when the MK was beeping. The GPX file read 12.5v at the lowest and 12.7 on landing. When I tested the battery with my charger and my "Watts up" they both read 15.2V, not even close to 12.5v. My next 3 batteries were fine, 2 of them nano-techs.
So the battery was fine, it was the MK that read the voltage wrong at the beginning (15v), when I'm sure it was about 16.6v. It then read it lower than it actually was during the whole flight. I just didn't know it till I heard the beep alarm and read the GPX. Just weird.

I'd be real careful flying that battery. Check the MK flight logs to see how steady the discharge is on the next few flights with it.

Checking the battery after the fact isn't a good indicator. The battery voltage drops on draw and recovers as the load is removed. If the GPX file showed 12.5v as the lowest, then that is what it was when the draw was the highest.
